Salvation - 4 Easy Installments of $99.95

By Syn

You've captured me
Taken me
I'll show you what
a saviour can be

I'll hold you close
Don't let go
In times of turbulence
you'll grow

Profits speak
and profits tell
Profits speak of
daily hell

Twisting your mind
Washing your brain
Killing the life
that you have made

And for that moment
that you care
You'll soon find
that no one's there

Keep your faith
in that lost religion
Sleep at night
with many visions

You can be a virgin Mary
You can claim her pain
But be aware you'll soon find out
Mary wasnt sane

Jesus was a carpenter
Was he something more?
Joseph was his father
Mary just a whore

Jesus is our savior
God was resurrected
Jesus is the answer
Just not what you expected

You can buy these dreams
These broken hopes aplenty
Just send a self adressed stamped envlope
And fill it with your money

We will send a Bible
and a poem to save the day
And a 900-phone number
to call to help you pray

Eighty bucks a seat
if you want to come to the show
We'll even "heal you"
While the Spirit flows

And as you put your faith in Christ
We'll rip you of every dime
It's really really cheap this time
